Heterodimeric interaction between GKN2 and TFF1 entails synergistic antiproliferative and pro-apoptotic effects on gastric cancer cells.Kim O1, Yoon JH1, Choi WS1, Ashktorab H2, Smoot DT2, Nam SW1, Lee JY1, Park WS3.Abstract

BACKGROUND:

GKN2 and TFF1 form a heterodimer that is only generated in the mucus-secreting cells of the normal stomach. The formation of this heterodimer is frequently disrupted in gastric cancer. However, the precise roles of GKN2 alone and in the heterodimer with TFF1 as well as the contributions of GKN2 and the heterodimer to gastric carcinogenesis are poorly understood.

METHODS:

Cell viability, proliferation, and apoptosis were analyzed in AGS, MKN1, MKN28, and MKN45 gastric cancer cells transfected with GKN2 and/or TFF1 using MTT, BrdU incorporation, and apoptosis assays, respectively. In addition, cell viability was examined in HFE-145 non-neoplastic gastric epithelial cells after GKN2 and/or TFF1 silencing. Furthermore, the cell cycle and the expression of cell cycle and apoptosis related proteins were assessed. The interaction between GKN2 and TFF1 was confirmed by co-immunoprecipitation. Immunohistochemistry was employed to explore TFF1 expression in 169 gastric cancer tissues.

RESULTS:

Co-transfection with GKN2 and TFF1 significantly inhibited cell viability and proliferation by inducing G1/S cell cycle arrest and suppressing positive cell cycle regulators. Simultaneous knockdown of GKN2 and TFF1 in HFE-145 cells resulted in markedly increased cell viability. Moreover, the interaction of GKN2 and TFF1 promoted cell death by enhancing caspase-3/7 activity and upregulating pro-apoptotic proteins. At the mRNA level, GKN2 and TFF1 were found to be positively correlated in non-tumor and tumor samples. Immunohistochemistry revealed loss of TFF1 expression in 128 (75.73%) of 169 gastric cancers. There was a borderline-significant association between GKN2 and TFF1 protein expression in gastric cancers (P = 0.0598).

CONCLUSION:

Collectively, our data demonstrated that the interaction between GKN2 and TFF1 can have synergistic antiproliferative and pro-apoptotic effects on gastric cancer.
